Te71 Coupe
Posted: Wed Jun 26, 2013 7:18 am
I start from the beginning of the project, so this first post is going to be long, but ill put a lot of tiny photos so you dont have to read so much.
So here we go. A friend called me that in hes friend got te71 coupe on hes yard and hes selling it, and asked that would i be interested. I asked the price and few photos of it and the next weekend i was picking it up.
After 200km of driving it was going on the towing truck
...and another 200km it was on my yard Interior was sad with some Opel? seats and furry door trims.
First look it had some rust on wheer arch and few other places, but ill get back that later on the topic.
I did get new wheel arch's and lower door panels with the car. My goal was to do those tiny rust's and get it on the road but after the extraction i was singing another song
In this point i have done most of the outside rust work and here is before and after pictures of doing it, or just after cos i dont have pictures of all of those.
Right wheel arch
Left wheel arch
Rear panel
Left door mirror place
Upper rear panel was smashed into something, my friend straightened that one
Left rear corner was so bad so we did have to replace it
Like the right one but did find replacement part, so had to do like that.
Right door
Front end was smashed too so new parts going in place
And here is some random pict of the rust work
So there is most of what i have done for no with the body. For the motor i have thinked some turbo setup and i have some parts for that, but will see if i have enough money to do it
3t 88mm Wiseco and custom rods for 2t crank
T-W bell and cometic
There it is a short version of the past 1,5 year, now the car is allmost ready to go to the painter, so pics after the painting.
Here is all of the photos http://s429.photobucket.com/user/Heinon ... 7710399337
